Trigeminal Neuralgia
What is Trigeminal Neuralgia?
Trigeminal neuralgia is a debilitating condition characterized by severe, electric shock-like pain on one side of the face. This chronic pain syndrome stems from the malfunction of the trigeminal nerve, responsible for transmitting facial sensations to the brain. Even minor facial activities like talking, chewing, or brushing teeth can trigger excruciating pain.
Initially, individuals may experience brief, mild episodes of pain, but trigeminal neuralgia can progress to more frequent and prolonged bouts of agony. It predominantly affects females and is more common in those over 50.
However, trigeminal neuralgia is treatable through various medical interventions, offering hope for a pain-free life. Treatment options include medications, injections, and surgery.
